"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time."
Murphyâs Law
Collapsing on the leather couch, I take a large swig of my water. Holy fuck, everything that could go wrong went wrong today. The tiles and flooring were delivered to a different building site, forcing me to spend ages to track them down. I had to cancel my catch up with Heidi to teach the beginner's Shibari class because Mistress Midoriâs father had a heart attack, and she couldnât come in. In this kind of situation, Sebastian would have stepped in, but he just got back from New York, and itâs not fair on him. The blue light flashing steadily from my cell phone tells me I have messages. There is a missed call from Sebastian and a message from Heidi.
Bratty Little Princess: âHey, no worries, I understand. It sounds like you have a lot going. We can catch up at another time.â
I havenât seen her since she came back from San Diego. We texted back and forth, and there has been no flirting, just friendly banter. Iâd lie if I say that I donât miss playing with her. We have sizzling chemistry, and our kinks are perfectly aligned, but I canât let my guard down and lose her, too. I wonât be able to survive the loss. A knock at the door brings me back to the present.
"Come in," I holler.
Emma enters and closes the door behind her, giving me a sheepish smile. "May I talk to you, Master Sebastian?"
"Sure. Have a seat." My gaze flicks over her, taking in her long platinum hair tied up in a high ponytail and black and overall pink skirt with a removable hog-tie style bondage chest harness. Moving closer, she drops to her knees and adopts a submissive pose, catching me off guard. "There is no need to kneel, pet."
She lifts her head, her gray eyes hold mine. "Please, Master Sebastian. I need to do this." I stare at her, my mind reeling with confusion. What the hell is going on?
Emma takes a couple of deep breaths. "I've had strong feelings for you for a long time. Our kinks are compatibleâ¦we work well together," she pauses. "I would be honored if you would accept my submission."
A cold knot forms in my stomach. She knows Iâm not interested in her. I've never overstepped my professional boundaries with her, nor have I given her a reason to think Iâm interested in pursuing a relationship with her. There is no way for me to sugar coat my rejection. In one form or another, rejection is soul crushing.
"Thank you, pet. Iâm flattered that you offered your submission. While I know itâs hard to hear, I don't feel the same, so I canât accept it. Considering this, I don't think it would be fair on you to continue helping me with the impact play classes or clubâs demonstrations." She chews her lower lip, her eyes glistening with tears, and a dark red blush stains her cheeks.
